Welcome to Hell : A Working Guide for the Beginning Writer

This working guide for the beginner writer is full of extremely useful suggestions. Piccirilli lets you know from the start that writing is serious business, but at the same time, the book is full of his offbeat, scathing humor. "...if anybody tells you that all you need is a lucky break, then tell them to shove off. Luck is about the worst thing that can happen in this biz, and it's no substitute for knowledge, experience, and skill." -Tom Piccirilli, from Welcome to Hell
